Pretty much any of them will be the same. Fees are set by the state so your not going to be able to shop for a better deal.
Most of not all offer a free consultation.
I used Lienart law.
You will be required to pay something like $500 to get started which you can put together by immediately stop paying any creditors such as your car payment.
I don't know how far behind you are if you are but they can't take your car until after 90 days and this let's you put together the funds.
Best thing to do is to make your appointment as soon as possible and get their advice on how to proceed.
Depending on the amount of debts you have and how the relief will help you may want to keep your vehicle out of the bankruptcy to allow yourself the freedom to make changes over the time frame of your bankruptcy.
You'll want to make this decision based on whether or not your vehicle is dependable enough to keep for the next five years.
I put both of my vehicles into the bankruptcy because I had financed then for 72 months and when you file a bankruptcy they lower the interest rate to the allowed rate of in fact your rate is higher.
In the end, paying for my vehicles through the trustee was cheaper and quicker than if I didn't include them.

Just want to reiterate that there is a significant time frame from when you pay the attorney to put in the order of stay which immediately stops all collections to when the court will actually rule on your case. During this time you pay nothing to anyone besides your rent if renting and utilities. It's immediate relief from your debts. You will be required to outline all your expenses. Everything. Don't skimp on this process because it's used to determine what you are able to pay in monthly installments.
